Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - C. S. Lewis is one of the most influential Christian writers of our time.

A Life Observed tells the inspiring story of Lewis's spiritual journey from cynical atheist to joyous Christian.

S. Lewis's personal secretary and editor'Devin Brown has always been my go-to source for all things related to Middle Earth and Narnia.

He'd like to be a hero through deeds of derring-do, but his mother wants him to play politics and become king.

The story stands alone, though favorite characters from the earlier books have cameos large and small. New readers will find much to charm them, and fans will enjoy the epic yet quirky adventure they have come to anticipate' --Publishers Weekly.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does the Bible actually tell us about the end times, and how has the church traditionally understood it In a clear and accessible manner, Kim Riddlebarger presents and defends amillennialism--the belief that the millennium is a present reality centered in Christ's heavenly reign, not a future hope of Christ's rule on earth after his return--as the historic Protestant understanding of the millennial age. Recognizing that eschatology--the study of future things--is a complicated and controversial subject, Riddlebarger begins with definitions of key terminology and an overview of various viewpoints and related biblical themes. He then discusses key passages of Scripture that bear upon the millennial age, including Daniel 9, Matthew 24, Romans 11, and Revelation 20. Finally, he evaluates the main problems facing each of the major millennial positions and cautions us to be aware of the consequences of each view.This expanded edition includes a new foreword from Michael Horton, a new chapter on the antichrist, a new chapter on signs of the end, and several helpful charts and indexes.
